Hello I'm Ingrid, I’m 33 years old and I’m from Mexico. I'm special education teacher with specialization in speech and language pathologies. I have a master’s degree in neuropsychological diagnosis and intervention. Since 2012 I obtained a diploma from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México to teach Spanish as a foreign language. Since then, I have been teaching Spanish to children, adolescents and adults in Mexico and in France. I have experience with American, German, Swiss, French, Russian, and Australian students. My classes are communicatively orientated. The lessons with children are a mixture between therapy and language lessons, I mostly use tales, games and handcrafts to keep them interested and to work language as a whole. Many of them have achieved to get inserted in different private schools in Mexico. With adolescents and adults I normally use books and a great variety of audio-visual materials to practice the four spheres (reading, writing, oral and written expression). All my lessons are prepared and focused on my student's interests and needs.

Interests: I love to travel, to cook, to read, and to play board games with friends.

What Is It Like to Work with Ingrid?

What curriculum do you follow?

I follow the “Marco Común Europeo de Referencia” (MCER) to determine the levels and work on the skills and topics required for each level.

How do you plan lessons?

My lessons are based on the Communicative Approach. We practice, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking, writing,  and grammar. At the end of each class, I normally assign tasks or homework to do some practice during the week.

How do you measure progress?

Every 8 to 10 lessons I plan quizzes/tests to measure the progress. We practice also with model exams from the “Marco Común Europeo de Referencia”.

What tools/materials do you use?

I use tales, games, books, videos. Many of my materials are customized.

How can you help students achieve their long-term goals?

I try to understand the needs and goals of each student and I give suggestions depending on the areas of struggle.
